CPU usage. Studio one vs reaper

CPU usage. Studio one vs reaper

Hi. I have been a long time acustica audio lurker. I tried it in the past but for me, it was a workflow killer. Now it seems that, with the acqua plugins, this might work for me.

I just tested the Amethyst 3 plugin. And I havent a/b tested with other plugins yet, but i was able to open up the top end in a completely new and very magical sounding way, i dont think i have ever been able to do before!

BUT! One instance (zl or not) in studio one took up about 20% of my cpu.

I tested it in reaper, and it was about 1%.
What could cause this? Is this a known issue?

I'm running a 2600 I7 overclocked to 3.8ghz (i think... or is it 3.5, i cant remember).

Im on a hackintosh. Running Sierra. Everything is working fine.
Just not this plugin and studio one.

Thanks!

Reaper seems to be better coded than Studio one...

That's why a lot of Acustica customers use reaper.

A lot of customers use reaper and acqua just for the mastering, because acqua need too much CPU and RAM for mixing.

Yes, S1 is just not that good with cpu and plug ins. Tested it and reaper can load double on the same machine. So until they do something about that it's what it is. It's time for a S1 V4 update I hope they adres the cpu usage. Because I like the workflow.

i used to be a happy S1 v2 user but swap to Reaper for resources reasons . It took me a while to get into Reaper but i'll never go back now . Reaper rocks , best DAW , most complete and so customisable , i guess everybody got his very own Reaper , amazing ! What you want , where you want it ...

S1 has resources issues even with algo plugins imho .

Studio One becomes more and more a CPU hog especially with 3rd party developer plugins. I used mixing in Studio One but due to AA I switched to Reaper which is way lower in CPU consumption.

Since then S1 is only for testing issues on my computer as I also betatest software for developers.

So sad. I use s1 for the creative process and plan on finishing/mixing stuff in pro tools.
How is the CPU usage in pro tools compared to reaper?

I'd say more worse than compared to S1. Due to my tests and resesarch I learned that the only DAW which seem (whatever technical reasons may be responsible for it) to handle AA Plugins superb is Reaper.

Hey guys

I'm really tryin to use Studio one, but i have a problem.

Im in osx 10.8.5 with a mid 2012 macbook pro with 10gig ram.

I use protools 10.3.10, and i got a workaround to using several acquas and Nebulas with no clicks and pops during playback bu changing settings in the playback engine.

Im using a F*******e rednet system, which btw is the most stable system and best sounding one i ever used. Forget usb and firewire. Ethernet is the future for stability.

In studio one, even with 3 sandeq plugins i start getting pops and clicks during playback. 3 sandeq plugins???

I must be doing something wrong in the S1 configuration.

I know reaper loads a lot more plugins , but sorry, for me it's not about the workflow. sound is not the same between Daw's. Studio one for me has the best audio engine.

Please, help needed from S1 users.

Thanks

Francisco

I think so that S1 is just not good with CPU and plugins.I used mixing in Studio. Later i found that S1 is not good on my Macbook may be due to my MacBook error. I think It's time for the updation of the S1 V4 version.
